Subject[patch 58/59] move_task_off_dead_cpu() should be called with disabled ints
-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Kirill Korotaev <dev@openvz.org>

move_task_off_dead_cpu() requires interrupts to be disabled, while
migrate_dead() calls it with enabled interrupts.  Added appropriate
comments to functions and added BUG_ON(!irqs_disabled()) into
double_rq_lock() and double_lock_balance() which are the origin sources of
such bugs.
